Collectivist-altruists

Collectivism-altruism is the creed of every organized religion and every secular dictatorship through time and around the globe. Regardless of the subtle and not so subtle differences between Islam and Christianity, for example, both faiths are identical at their roots. [The roots are in the philosophy. Philosophy is metaphysics + epistemology and the resulting code of ethics.]

Metaphysics: Both Muslims and Christians profess the existence of what Carl Sagan called “the demon haunted world” view where the Laws of Nature can be wished away, where bread falls from the sky, where people rise from the dead, where God directs tornados, hurricanes, and the lottery, where angels and spirits are floating around helping people, hurting others.

Epistemology: Both shun science, believing knowledge is granted to man via divine revelation. When science proves their old books are man-made and wrong, they pretend not to notice. Ignoring six thousand years of recorded human effort to understand the causes of human illness and death, not to mention the years and years of grueling medical school success achieved by their 21st Century doctor, religionists thank God after surviving life-saving surgery.

Ethics: Both preach altruism and worship martyrdom, promoting the anti-human doctrine that self-sacrifice is the key to moral perfection. Both are collectives requiring members to sacrifice their own thinking for the thinking of the pack.

If I were to waste my time [and yours] discussing particulars, I would acknowledge differences between Muslims and Christians, as there are differences between Shia and Sunni, Catholics and Protestants; but there are no important differences where comparisons matter, i.e. philosophically. As all Western religions begin with Yahweh-God-Allah [their one God] and their earthly father, Abraham, and his progeny, all Western religions are authoritarian, collectivist, altruist.

Collectivism-altruism is an immoral creed that can be put on man only through the use of force—Muslims use actual swords, contemporary Christians prefer fear and guilt. The collectivist-altruist creed they force on the world is the product of our ancient, illiterate, and brutal past. It is anti-man. It is anti-man’s life. It is a path to self-destruction, AND it is the formula for every genocide in human history.

Compare Nazi Germany to Segregated USA and discover the consequences of this immoral creed in two seemingly different places.

In both Nazi Germany and Segregated USA the people committing the atrocities are Christians. How does one get a Christian to bolt the door behind hundreds and thousands of other humans and hit the switch to release the poison gas? How does one get a Christian to tie a rope around the neck of an innocent man and hang him from a tree Sunday morning after church?

In both cases the people committing the atrocities live in communion with their own kind. Within their collective, inside their circle, these white, Christians live moral lives, being neighborly to one another, loving their children, earning their living, paying their debts.

In both, Christian brotherhood is practiced only inside the circle. People who are outside the circle are outside of morality. Killing someone outside the circle is not murder. Raping a child outside the circle is not a crime.

People outside the circle are sacrificed for the good of the collective.

An Egoist, I do not make sacrifices…nor do I collect them. In the just world I promote, the right of each individual to his life and his liberty is absolute. No such genocide is possible.
